Evadne Persephone was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder at the age of six. To avoid the scrutiny of New York’s high society, her parents, Cielo and Romos Monteverde, decided to leave everything behind and settle in a quiet countryside village in France. For years, Evadne lived a peaceful and happy life with her parents. She had everything she could ever ask for, until her eighteenth birthday, when the nightmares returned, disrupting the tranquility they had worked so hard to build. Unable to help their daughter themselves, her parents turned to a renowned psychiatrist based in New York. Left with no choice, they returned to the very city that held their most painful memory, the tragic death of their eldest daughter, Ceres. But in that city, Evadne discovers a truth far more haunting. This is not her first life. She was once Empress Ceres Evadne Valeria of Aquilonis, in the realm of Solmara. And the nightmares she suffers from… are fragments of a life she wishes she could forget.

I caught the eyes of the monster. A monster covered behind- a race suit and a helmet. Dashing. Hot tempered. Charming. Yet warnings of red flag plastered like an advertisement on my boss or specifically my driver- as his sheep's clothes barely hid those narcissistic, arrogant, and sadist traits. Was I scared? Opposite. I was attracted to this villain. A trepidation. This isn't anymore lovely or professional but feels like- Hades is ready to claim his Persephone. One thing that doesn't match with the equation is I am no Persephone. I won't run or hide. This whatever is going on between us, is about to ruin our lives-'miserably'. Specifically I gave myself to a soul carving demon. My Demon.

Prologue: The Loom of Fate In the beginning, darkness reigned—an endless void untouched by time. From that void, a single thread of light emerged, weaving itself into the fabric of reality. This became the Loom of Fate, the source of all willpower and the beginning of all things. Hidden from mortal reach, the Loom weaves the lives of all beings, connecting destinies across time and space. It is said that those who can see its threads can manipulate reality itself, but only with unyielding belief—the essence of willpower. In Eryndor, belief is power. It binds the Threads of Fate, shaping destiny and defying the inevitable. Those who master this power become the Knights of the Thread—guardians whose belief is so strong that it forges their willpower into tangible threads. These threads weave around them like armor, enhancing their strength, speed, and skill. Yet, even among the Knights, twelve beings known as the Saints stand above all, their willpower so absolute that they shape reality itself. But power invites darkness. In the shadows, Warpers seek to corrupt the threads, bending reality to their will. They are the antithesis of the Knights, wielding willpower not as guardians, but as manipulators. Thus, the battle for the Loom rages on, an eternal struggle between creation and corruption, destiny and defiance. Amidst this chaos, a young man stands at the crossroads of fate. Magnus Alaric Seymour, born of noble blood yet hidden from the world, carries within him the legacy of the strongest Knights. His grandparents are among the five unknown Rank 17 Knights, the closest to the Loom, and his parents are Rank 16 Knights, their willpower unmatched by all but the Saints. Yet, Magnus knows nothing of his lineage. To him, the Loom is a legend, and the Knights are heroes of myth. All he knows is the burning desire within him—the yearning to protect, to grow stronger, to find his purpose in a world where power defines existence. His journey is intertwined with others, including Eulalia Persephone Abla, a fallen noblewoman whose strength and sorrow mirror his own. To her, Magnus is a wanderer, a man of mystery and quiet resolve. She tells him they can marry if he becomes a Knight, igniting a fire within him that strengthens his willpower threads. But the truth of his lineage could shatter everything they hold dear. The Loom watches, its threads weaving the tapestry of life, destiny, and willpower. In its web lies a prophecy—a whisper of change, of chaos, of a Knight who will either save the world or bring it to ruin. Magnus’s journey begins now, a journey of belief and sacrifice, of love and loss, of struggle and triumph. He will face beasts born of nightmares, warriors of unimaginable strength, and enemies who wield the threads of reality itself. He will confront the darkness within him, the fear of failure, and the weight of his legacy. But above all, he must learn the truth—that destiny is not given, but forged. And the threads of his willpower will either break or become unbreakable. For in the world of Eryndor, belief is everything. And Magnus Alaric Seymour must learn to believe in himself before he can shape his destiny. The Loom of Fate awaits, its threads whispering his name. And the tapestry of his life is yet to be woven.

In the 3,476th year of the Celestial Calendar, the Heavenly Emperor—whose divinity was rivaled only by his boredom—rewrote the Immortal Code of Gender Assignments during a particularly uneventful spring. According to Clause 89, Subsection Moonlight, Paragraph Absolutely-Not-Optional, any being born with an overwhelmingly high-yin spiritual constitution could only, by universal decree, be classified as female. It was simple. Efficient. Divine. Except… someone made a mistake. A mortal child was born deep within the darkest stretch of the Eternal Spirit Forest, surrounded by mist, mystery, and mushrooms that sang lullabies. He was bright-eyed, soft-voiced, high-yin… and very, very male. The thunder cracked the day he laughed. A white wolf howled. A snake offered him venom like warm milk. The trees whispered ancient songs. And the heavens? Well, they began preparing lightning bolts on standby—just in case someone down there got too clever and said something like: “Wait… is that a boy?” Boom. Thus began the most unusual cultivation tale in ten thousand realms. A tale of a child raised by beasts, mistaken for a goddess, blessed with yin that could stop hearts, and cursed with thunder that would smite anyone who dared question the Heavenly Code. This is the story of Xiulan. Or as the forest calls him: “Our beautiful, powerful, emotionally unstable daughter.” Or as heaven calls him: “ERROR 404: Gender Not Found.”

In the shadow of a cataclysm that has toppled the once-mighty pantheon of Olympus, the goddess Athena awakens to a world torn asunder. The grand halls of Zeus lie in ruins, and the gods of old are no more, brought low by the hand of Kratos—a demigod with a thirst for vengeance and power. With Olympus shattered and divine power scattered to the winds, Athena finds herself burdened with the remnants of Hades' strength, Erebus. Haunted by cryptic whispers of destiny and danger, she must unravel the mystery of Kratos' rebellion and his dark designs on the mortal realm. As Athena grapples with her newfound power and the daunting legacy of the gods, she must race against time to find Persephone, hidden among mortals, unaware of her true heritage. Together, they hold the key to thwarting Kratos' malevolent ambitions and restoring balance to a fractured cosmos. In a tale woven with betrayal, redemption, and the enduring struggle between light and shadow, Athena must rise from the ashes of Olympus to forge a new destiny. Will she succeed in protecting the mortal realm from the encroaching darkness, or will the legacy of the fallen gods be extinguished forever? Embark on an epic journey through myth and legend in "The Fallen of the Goddess," where the fate of both gods and mortals hangs in the balance.

Cassandra Von Mallearch, a young girl, was fated to become a sacrifice in a demonic summoning ritual. Just as the blade was about to slice her throat, true darkness descended—not to claim her life, but to save it. The Goddess of Darkness and Ruler of the Underworld, Persephone, intervened and rescued Cassandra. But that salvation came with a curse. Cassandra was granted a forbidden power known as Predator’s—a force so immense it could bring monsters and men alike to their knees, at a terrible cost: each use of it drained the years from her life. If she wished to wield this power without losing time, she would have to sacrifice pieces of her own body instead. Abandoned in the Red Wasteland, Cassandra rose anew—no longer a helpless girl, but a different being entirely. Clad in a white-gray dress like the ashes of the dead, draped in black robes, her eyes gleamed gold, and her short white hair marked the severance from her childhood. Now, at the age of 21, she lives as a cursed entity, no longer willing to be prey. The Tales of Predator’s is a dark chronicle of sacrifice, freedom, and choice a story of a woman who dances between death and power, walking a world that once tried to devour her… but now becomes her hunting ground.

For centuries, humanity has dismissed gods as myths—stories created to explain the unexplainable. But here’s the kicker: the gods are real. Not only do they exist, but they also have their own version of the United Nations, called the United Pantheon of Gods (U.P.O.C.), where deities from all mythologies gather to argue, negotiate, and occasionally threaten each other with divine smitings. Enter Michael—just an ordinary guy… or so he thought. Turns out, he’s actually a newborn god, unknowingly raised by mortals. Now, he's been thrown headfirst into the U.P.O.C. as their newest member. Even worse? The gods have decided that, as someone with a foot in both worlds, he’s the perfect candidate to act as their representative to the human government—because, yes, world leaders are very aware of the divine. Now, Michael must juggle divine egos, supernatural politics, ancient grudges, and ridiculous celestial bureaucracy, all while figuring out his own powers. Oh, and let’s not forget the looming threats of rogue gods, celestial wars, and modern-day mortals who may not be as powerless as they seem. Godhood was supposed to be cool. No one told him it came with paperwork.

Persephone is forced to go work in the notorious Ice King's esteemed castle as his chambermaid. When she gets off on the wrong foot with his majesty, her fate at the castle was already written for her. She must hold herself back from making matters for herself worse, however, this is difficult when her morality gets in the way of the King's wrath. Will she be able to survive without any harm? Or will she ignite something in him more dangerous than his anger?

Ethan, a terminally ill young man with nothing to lose, retreats to the countryside to live out his final days in peace. But peace isn’t what he finds. Armed with advanced alien biotechnology and a mysterious Hive Mind AI, Ethan becomes the secret god of a miniature “sandbox world,” where time moves faster and evolution is in his hands. What begins as a quiet experiment in gene splicing and ecosystem crafting quickly spirals into a mad, hilarious, and often epic clash between Ethan and a group of unsuspecting players who enter his sandbox through what they think is just a hardcore survival game. Unbeknownst to them, Ethan watches their every move—from evolving chicken-like toxins to crafting sentient furniture—and occasionally smites them with a slap… or roasts them alive for dinner. From engineering magical civilizations and mythical beasts, to trolling overeager players with psychological warfare, Ethan’s sandbox becomes a chaotic crucible of creativity, tragedy, and divine comedy. But behind the satire and cosmic pranks lies a bigger question: can a dying man, with nothing but time and infinite control, build a world where immortality isn’t just a dream?

He was a beast. Composed of nothing but sheer brutality, masculinity and power. A mate was the last thing on his mind. . . until he laid his eyes on her. [ influenced by the story of Hades and Persephone ]

Ginny Green, an aromantic nerd, accidentally slept with the infamous campus Princess, Persephone Campbell, but she can't remember. ** Ginny Green is an aromantic nerd who only believes that love only exists in movies and novels, but still wishes to find that special someone even though she's thinking that it's impossible. After she got drunk at a party, she found herself tangled in bed with the infamous campus Princess, Persephone Campbell. Persephone Campbell is an extremely attractive, charismatic, misjudged individual due to her wealthy background. Deemed by the people as coldhearted and a snob, but she's totally the opposite. She fell in love with Ginny after their faithful night together and would love to start a relationship with her. But there is a problem, Ginny is aromantic and doesn't want to be in a relationship with anyone. Now, Persephone is on a mission to make the aromantic nerd fall in love with her. ** "You're not going to run away and walk out of this room and pretend that this didn't happen, are you?" In every accidental one-night stand, of course, that thought is not an option anymore. Embrace each other at night like long-time lovers, and in the morning, shrug off every memory like it never happened. That's always been the case. And of course, that was Ginny's initial plan after assessing the situation. But looking at Persephone's threatening, yet smiling face, she knows well how screwed up she was. Let's just laugh first. "N-no, I wasn't thinking of that at all." "Good." Persephone smiled, satisfied with her answer. She gingerly moves closer to Ginny, wrapping both of her arms around her waist. Ginny can't seem to utter a single word. Seeing a naked Persephone in front of her was... was... was - she doesn't even have any words to describe it. ** OTHER STORIES: Too Gay for You: You Give me Heart Eyes (GL) Join the discord: https://discord.gg/mCBYVgW8MH

Limping from what seemed to be possible for her, she tries to call out to guests in the room as her vision darkens from every step and second it takes. Balancing was to hard to manage making her lay down on the floor with her own pool of blood. Her mind spun in circles when noticing that the color she saw from the world was beginning to fade into a TV show that only black and grey were seen available. She emotionlessly smiled and collapsed on the floor as she hears shouts of terror from people making it the last sound she ever heard again. Her eyes closes shut when surprisingly, a voice is to be heard from her mind and as the voice spoke, she analyzed the voice as it seemed to be every voice in which games would normally count it as their guidance or a person who would be giving tutorials. Not knowing what to do with this voice, she calls out for it when the voice spoke a sentence that seemed to final and then a strong and horrible light appeared from her vision making her yelp in surprise. She hears the voice and turned to look at it but immediately catches on that it was not a person that was narrating it. She knew it was some sort of director. "Level 1, Skills added. Preparing for modification." The voice spoke out loud and clear. *** In a world where magic is real, find our Persephone Anderson's journey, she comes across allies, villains friends and romantic interests.

The world as we know it has plunged into chaos. Zeus, in a fit of arrogance, committed an act so reckless that it sparked a war between the Greek gods and every other pantheon in existence, leading to the downfall of the world. As gods and mortals alike perished, Hades, god of the underworld, tried to intervene—but was ultimately stopped by a force greater than himself. His wife, Persephone, was imprisoned, and Hades himself fell into despair. But just as his end seemed near, two primordial beings—Chaos and Order—visited him. They offered Hades a second chance, sending him back in time to the golden age of the gods. Now, back in the Age of Myth, Hades must prevent the catastrophic future he once lived through. But what do Chaos and Order expect of him? Can he rewrite the fates of gods and mortals? With Persephone by his side and ancient powers stirring, Hades is determined to stop his brother and reshape destiny itself.

In the beginning when men began to multiply, during the era of the first men after Lilith was barnished from Eden. A demon named Azazel who was barnished by the holy gods and sent down to earth married Lilith, and they gave birth to Valyris and Arine, Valyris was a hunter and he was great upon the earth, he later married a she demon Ashtheroth, and Arine married Kein. They are the descendants of the Nephilims. Their children the Nephilims oppressed humans for ages, humans cried, prayed to the holy gods in agony waiting for a deliverer but it seems the gods shot their ears from hearing and eyes from seeing the pain of the people. The worst was yet to come, the Nephilims were immortals because they lived hundreds of years and were Giants. For ages they ruled mankind with sorcery and wisdom their parents Valyris and Arine passed to them. After a thousand years passed, the holy gods summoned Lilith and Azazel to the high court, The court of the gods, as the name implies only gods were judged, Azazel, and Lilith were chained and thrown into the great deep, a prison made for only gods, a prison of darkness, a prison of nothingness As for their children Valyris and Arine, the holy gods cursed them with an everlasting curse. Valyris was cursed with a great curse. In the words of the gods "Valyris! Valyris!! Because you hunt both man and beast, and make yourself mighty on earth, you're cursed with the curse of the beast, as you hunt shall you be hunted. So Valyris was cursed the curse of wolves, Arine, the daughter of Azazel and Lilith played the harlot and taught men and women witchcraft, to drink human blood, and eat human flesh, to cast spells and make portions. She was beautiful, as beautiful as the sun, her hair white as wool and she had the eyes of the holy gods, red and blazing like fire. She was strong but not as strong as Valyris, and all these made her exalt herself above the holy gods. She bought the hearts of men through her sorcery and made men worship her. The holy gods cursed her with the curse of darkness, they said, " Arine because you look like the sun, and you have exalted yourself above everyone, the sun is your enemy." She will smite you, in darkness you shall dwell until the day you will be called. The holy gods left Valyris and Arine to rule the earth for the pledged repentance but they lied because both ruled humans with a strong hand, and the children of the brothers of Azazel, the demons were wicked. The world was full of wickedness only the strong survive, the weak were used as slaves. Valyris and the demons didn't spare mankind. To Valyris and Arine, it is a pay back to the holy gods. They looked for a deliverer but none was found so mankind lost hope, and started eating and drinking forgetting the holy gods.

Universal DOOM: Reborn Of The Genius CEO The World After the Cataclysm The world as humanity knew it was irrevocably changed by the Cataclysm, a phenomenon that merged Earth with the fantastical realms of the MMORPG Legends of the Five Realms.

Kaori Amano is the richest, most famous streamer on Earth. Well, she was up until she was brutally killed. But, upon death, she was told she could continue her life in another world. Same soul, same body. No harm in that, right?.... ......Right?..... Maybe if she wasn't suddenly put into a parallel, futurisric world by the Goddess Persephone that was currently in the middle of a zombie apocalypse. Or being isolated from safety while a herd is but a few inches from her, separated only by a blast door about to open. Oh, and not only is she living in this undead apocalypse, she is a part of it! And there’s no easy way out. This version of Kaori was a participant in the program that sent the rich to space in order to wait out the apocalypse…. Too bad it followed the rich into space as well. Luckily Persephone isn’t completely screwing over Kaori. She is being gifted power and magical items in exchange for purging zombies. Note: Because of creating a futuristic, space society, there are a lot of things that will need to be explained. This means the beginning will be a bit slow. No smut, no yuri, no harem.

Book 1 of the Brides of Darkness Series For hundreds of years, Calaren Town had been offering virgin maidens to fulfill their part on the treaty they made with the Court of Shadows to keep their small town under their protection. To be chosen meant death to the townsfolk, as there was no turning back to becoming a human again. Upon realizing that her younger sister was chosen as one of the maidens to be sacrificed by their impoverished town to the thirteen demon lords who once ruled their land, Iris Scarborough volunteered to take her place instead to save her. There was nothing exceptional about Iris, except for the secret she was keeping from everyone. However, even before she was taken away, Iris had already caught the eye of one of the demon lords. Rumors say that Lord Kieran Fleurnoir was the personification of death. His mere presence was enough to suck the life essence out of those around him. He was also known to be one of the strongest demons of all time, who possesses extremely dangerous and powerful magic. Taken to Asnar, a place filled with magical beings and monsters, Iris found herself enthralled and captivated not only by the place and its residents, but also by the cold and enigmatic demon lord, Lord Kieran. Once there, Iris realized that Asnar and Lord Kieran himself were different from what humans thought them to be. Loosely based on the tales of ‘Hades and Persephone’ and ‘Beauty and the Beast’.

** VERY LOOSELY BASED ON HADES AND PERSEPHONE** Seeing her in deep thought, the God mused, “You aren’t obligated to believe me, but the point remains — you,” He hooked his finger under her chin to force her unfocused gaze to his, “belong to me. And I am not adept at sharing my belongings with anyone.” --- A woman bound to duty. A God bound to fate. And a Goddess that will do everything in her power to keep them apart. As a saintess-in-training, Clover knows better than anyone that getting involved with a God is nothing more than a death sentence. A God’s love has always led humans to one or two things: cursed or dead. They’re meant for being worshipped, not loved, her mother instills in her. And yet, somehow, Clover finds herself second-guessing this sentiment when a particular God takes an interest in her and whisks her away to the Underworld as his unwilling prisoner. He strikes a deal with her - heal him of the curse that’s plagued him for a millennium and regain her freedom or lose her humanity and become his undying Queen — forever. Humans had never been a point of interest for Aidoneus. He found them to be pathetic creatures that allowed their emotions to get the better of them — until he met her again. Suddenly, he could understand why men fought to the death and kings waged war over their lovers. As soon as her familiar eyes met his, he knew he would be willing to set the entire world ablaze to keep her warm. He doesn’t mean to trap her in the Underworld, but he also can’t survive another century without her. This time, he would overturn Fate itself to keep her.

Angering a god takes guts, skill, and a pinch of curiosity. Such transcendent beings are quite tolerant of mortal antics, though in the case of Persephone, the Goddess of Flowers, she's got quite the temper. Angering her would mean eternal damnation and suffering. One day a young man called Leo, came upon Persephone's secret garden. Without knowing he had stepped into a god's domain, he decided to observe and smell the beautiful flowers of the garden. Upon finding out that someone had trespassed into her garden, Persephone was furious, deeming the garden as filthy and tainted because of a mortal's touch. She cursed Leo, making it so he would forever die and be reborn until every flower in her garden withered, an eye for an eye, a life for a flower. To the Leo of today, that was a long time ago, having had lived an epiphany of lives and was now on the final flower, a crystal rose with 18 petals, 18 years to his final life. All flowers must wither, even this curse, after all, even the most beautiful or retched flowers eventually all wither.

This is basically a tale of Hades and Persephone, but not quite like you know it. The love that blossomed between Hades and Persephone was never a mere coincidence like Greek mythology suggests, there are ancient truths that were buried, lies that were praised, and connections that were severed, never again to see the light of day… Until now. Persephone, a sheltered, home schooled sweet little girl finally gets the chance to see the world beyond her mother’s reach and enrolls in the most prestigious university in all the three realms. Will she fulfill her mother’s wishes of working hard and graduating collage so she can take over the business? Or will her encounter with the king of the underworld completely throw her off track? ***** “Lord Hades! Lord Hades!” “How many times have I told you not to scream in my office Thanatos?” Thanatos stopped in front of the large black table and slipped a piece of paper across to the dark haired man who was smoking a cigar at the other end of it. “You need to see this.” Hades picked up the paper and trailed his deep crimson eyes over each line, his brows knitting more and more as he read. “Is this a some kind of fluke?” “I followed it up sir,” Thanatos responded. His voice indicated both excitement and nervousness, how could he not be? This had never happened before in the history of the underworld. “It’s not a fluke sir, someone actually applied to intern in the underworld.” “Persephone….” Hades mumbled to himself as she gazed at the picture attached to the application letter. “What are you up to little dove?”

"My sweetest little treasure, don't be naive, you are either damned or dead in here, so now be good and scream your loudest for me." Persephone [Psyche] Charming found herself sent away into a strange highschool for troubled teenagers after commiting a crime worthy of hell back home. Soon enough the Witch began to realize these troubled teenagers were more dangerous than the worst of criminals. Especially the Crescent brothers who were more monstrous than animals. °°° "No, whatever you're gonna say, no, not now, not ever. Also get out of my room you psychopath, you'll get blood all over my sheets…. Why is there blood all over you?" She could no longer control her urge and asked. He really looked like a mess. So much blood that Persephone felt it was his. His face had a tear, and his hair was just…. Well that hair was always looking messy. At her words that smirk died. Replaced with a lost look. "Hm, you're being nosy." He said, coolly. "....." Persephone deadpanned. "You broke into my ROOM." She couldn't help the incredulity that filled her voice as she said those words. The reddish eyelashes fluttered, and then slowly but surely the eyes were opened. It was worse than expected. His red eyes were bloodshot, hurt, so many emotions going in a long and horrible roller coaster.  Persephone always thought Caspian was a straightforward person. Everytime she met him, he would always say or do whatever came to his mind. He looked like he was mad at everything whenever he was around, because he couldn't be bothered to hide his emotions. This kind of open person, when they were hurt, it was too obvious for the world to see. Persephone's throat bobbed as she swallowed. She didn't know why she was aggrieved by the hurt in his eyes. Anytime they crossed parts one way or the other Caspian always threatened her. Seeing the cool smirk on his face all those times, Persephone hoped it would be knocked off his face, but literally seeing that arrogant look away from his face, Persephone's heart was pumping really fast. This time she couldn't control her brain from allowing her hand to reach out towards Caspian, her fingers sinking into the mop of hair for the first time. Despite the unsettlement she felt at his hurt, she couldn't help the wave of satisfaction and the tremors of shudders that traced up her spine as her fingers sank into his hair. It was so silky, as she imagined it would be, so soft, it would entice anyone to keep touching. She has fallen down the rabbit hole so it couldn't be helped as she combed her fingers through his hair softly, her skin enjoying the tickling and electric feeling of petting his hair. She stiffened when she heard his sigh. It was actually not a sigh…. If she heard it correctly it was a moan, a soft and gentle moan. Persephone felt something thick had obscured her throat from swallowing as she heard the sinfully soft moan. She peeked away from the hair to his face. His eyebrows dipped into a furrow but the curve and contort of his features couldn't be misunderstood….. This was a look of satisfaction. "What happened to you?" She sounded like she had choked out the words. The reply was a bit late but it came. "I shouldn't have come here." Seeing the way she was petting his hair, enjoying every minute of it, enjoying him enjoying every minute of it, she indeed concurred that he should not have come to her. But she said, "But you did." A hand descended on the back of her head. "Yeah, I did." [Mature Content] [Slow burn]
